Yep, Metro we too had a beautiul day. Typical May, cool night and morning, 70's in the afternoon. Cooler weather this week, with some rain. Planted some flowers and vegetables and pruned my large rosebush.

Yes we had a great day here too. Then I woke up this morning left for work and the temp read out showed 58 degrees. Wow it's nice for May, suppose to be like this most if the week. We will take it before summer really hits.

We got our AP passport today in the mail. It's has the Transformers all over it. Inside it said save up to 50% off 3 or more nights this summer. So got excited and called. After giving the code they tell me it's only valid up to June 6 and after August 18 th. I was so excited I did not even read it right.

they get you one way or the other, name of the game is to to make a living on the touristas, we leave with empty wallets and big 'ole smiles on our faces...let's call it a win-win.

my better half put me a travel budget a few years back, sigh. I have to do quite a bit of stretching of it to feed my nasty travel addiction, but always find somewhere to cut back on to make it work. Hot dog and spaghetti nights at home come to mind. Do believe he's caught the bug though, since he's kicking in some bonus bucks for a quick disney fix this summer hehehe

Tons of (can't remember) questions. Our dates are tentatively Oct 5th - 11th and will be slip up with some beach time. Our plans are for the start of our trip to be in Orlando and finish it up at the beach, and we already know we'll be staying offsite in a rental to save on money and give us more room to move. We don't have any APs or other discounts other than AAA, so my questions are: 1) would purchasing 1 AP benefit the family? (ticket discounts, parking discounts or HHN discounts) 2) please remind me which days are typically slower for HHN so we can plan on what days we want to go and 3) who else might be there during our dates that we can finally meet?

I'm sure I'll have more as we officially start booking. For now, please bow your heads and join me in a prayer to the Great Vacation Gods that we have no disasters get in the way of our being able to make this trip

i'll be at the darkside the day after you and still there after the 11th.

you have the choice of hhn on sunday oct 6 or thursday oct 10 as the best nights for your dates. these are non peak nights.

friday october 11th will be crowded, weekends always are.
weekend hhn tix cost more as they are peak nights.

the earlier in the season, the less crowded hhn will be.
columbus day weekend will have crowds.

i'm guessing that oct 6th would be a decent choice with oct 10 a close second for which night would be your best bet.

yes, i will be at hhn both of those nights besides the next 3 hhn dates.

the preferred annual pass will give you a good discount on the hhn tix and free parking in the garage.

have you changed your mind of booking rph now?
AAA is available for onsite hotel for a discount for october.
aph has not been released yet for october dates.
